Tracy and the team are getting to make the move from Abuja to Mkar in the morning. They are very eager to get there and get started with working in an orphange there. She has already been experiencing some of the many different aspects of Nigerian culture, which is including living with a cockroach and the extreme amounts of other bugs. She is also experiencing the food as the team was taken to a local resturant and was able to experience some Nigerian cooking. She has also been given her schedule for the time in Nigeria. Her schedule is as follows:
June 14-Travel to Mkar
June 16-20: Mkar Orphanage
June 23-27: VBS Mkar
June 28: Travel to Takum
June 30 -July 4: Community Clean Up in Takum (We are fixing the Civic/Community Center)July 7-11: VBS Takum
July 12: Travel to Lupwe
July 14-18: VBS Lupwe
July 19: Free Day
July 20: Worship in Takum
July 21-22: Free Days
July 23-24: Obudu Cattle Ranch ( I guess it is like a tropical rainforest)
July 25: Travel to Abuja
July 28- August 1: Urban Ministries in Abuja.
Now you all can figure out where Tracy is at any given time, at least a rough estimate. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. I know that God is doing some amazing things in her life already.

Dear Tracy, I'm so glad I learned how to comment! This noon we had lunch with your mom and dad - and Grandma Byma, and Kara showed me. So glad we have a schedule of where you will be. This will be posted on the refrigerator - just across from the M&M's that are getting stale! Yesterday was Adam and Nicole's wedding. Very nice. I'll write more about it in regular mail. Sounds like you getting a "taste" of Nigeria - bugs, food, etc. We know you can handle it. Our prayers are constantly with you - especially this week as you fall in love with those kids in the orphanage. Lots of love, gram and gramps

Dear Tracy, Thinking about you and trying to imagine what it's like in the bush. Lots of love and prayers.

Hi Tracy,
Just wanted you to know we think of you often. Hope you had a nice b-day in Africa - Did you have to eat the cow tail? Really enjoyed your update letter. Chelsey was volunteering at the nursing home and read your letter to them - so even the old ladies there are praying for you!! Wishing you safety and blessings.
The Sall family
Great work.
